Ha, thank you, but don't worry - no one has actually made me feel unwelcome or anything like that. I just wanted to explain why I needed to ask (and I want the "authentic" experience). I also periodically buy and drink a 12-pack of Moxie, even though half the locals hate it. Gosh, I'm sounding like that one copypasta (https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/9wzugd/american_weeb/)
